Thirty-three employees of a garment factory in the Katunayake Investment Promotion Zone (KEPZ) were admitted to the Minuwangoda Hospital today due to suspected food poisoning.

A spokesperson for the factory said that the employees had been hospitalised after they fell sick after eating their lunch. Out of a total of 600 employees that had eaten the lunch, about 50 had been admitted to a private hospital after complaining of feeling faintish and vomiting.

Thirty-three of those admitted were said to be in a critical condition and were transferred to the Minuwangoda Hospital. (Tony Karunaratne)
